Regarding Tire Size and Fitment

So, I've learned from looking around that a 32" tire is the biggest you can go (on a 2nd Gen, which is what I have) with a stock suspension - going any larger will require either lifting, cutting/trimming, or a combination of those. All of those concerns are for the front. Are the rears similarly constrained, or are you able to go any larger than a 32" before things become an issue back there?

Just asking out of curiosity since it seems like most of the threads I've seen are only concerned with the fronts.

 

Rears are basically a non-issue.

 

Lotsa room in back, because those tires don't steer. But the front dictates what can be used, which would be a 265/75-16, or a 265/70-17 on wheels down to about +7 to +8 offset . Then you start hearing little rubs of the tire on the front mud flaps when you turn. Once you get to zero offset, you have to start trimming the front of the fender liner and pulling off the front mud flaps. Beyond that, into negative offset, start thinking about a lift.

I'm talking about a stock SR5 4x4 here; I have a 2011 and this has been my experience. A TRD suspension might get you a tad further, but not much.
